Scott Frost's choice to coach UCF in the bowl game would be unconventional but far from unprecedented. Urban Meyer coached unbeaten Utah to a win in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl after accepting the Florida job. Coordinators have done it more often — notably Charlie Strong with the Gators after he took the head-coaching job at Louisville in 2009 and Nebraska-bound Bo Pelini with LSU after the 2007 season.
